Bluff Dale, Texas, is a small town about 40 miles southwest of Fort
Worth on US-377. Over a hundred years ago, the local citizens got
together to build a bridge. They hired a regionally famous bridge
builder, hacked together some iron, pipes, and cable, and ended up
with this fantastic cable stayed bridge long before such bridges
were in vogue. It is located on country road 149 about a quarter mile
north of town. A modern bridge was built next to this structure, so
vehicles no longer use the metal monster.
